It took us a bit of doing to get out of Vegas. We went and got Betsy washed, then went downtown to have breakfast at The Bay City Diner (did I get it right this time Ross?) and to see if we could get some new crocks for Ross. Walking Vegas gets his all dirty and he only brought one pair with him. We finally got everything done (except for new crocks they didn’t have any) so off on highway 93 and, we thought, area 51 but alas, that was not to happen. When I looked on the internet for area 51 it said it was on highway 93 just north of Vegas, but there weren’t any signs or anything. That was the only think on this trip I wanted to see, but oh no, not this time!

Driving highway 93 is like driving through Saskatchewan or Manitoba (except for the vegetation) straight highway, flat and boring. We decided we had had enough of that so we took off on highway 6, we stopped at the border of Nevada and Utah for some gas and there was a hotel, bar and a small casino, so of course we stopped. We put in 40.00 worth of gas, I won 30.00 bucks and Ross won 10.00 bucks so that paid for our gas, neat heh!

We decided to stay in Nephi Utah at a KOA, but the one we picked, at first it wasn’t where the GPS said it would be, and second, the people at the gas station said it was in another location but would be full because of a rodeo in town (this was just south of Provo at 10:30 at night) so we decided to stay in Provo. We stopped at a flying J (truck stop) finally had some supper, Ross had a stupendous double hamburger and I had some pasta (which half of it is now in our fridge) the genset wouldn’t kick in so instead of listening to trucks all night (we had to open our windows) and smell diesel we in our jammies drove about ½ a mile to a Walmart and had a great sleep.
